Meditation is a microcosm, a model, a mirror. The skills we practice when we sit are transferable to the rest of our lives.

We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it.

Vulnerability in the face of constant change is what we share, whatever our present condition.

When we practice metta, we open continuously to the truth of our actual experience, changing our relationship to life.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

The most common response I hear when I tell people I teach meditation is, "I'm so stressed out. I could use some of that!" A response I also sometimes hear, which amuses me a lot is, "My partner should really meet you!"

Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.
